Li An looked at these pirates who were tied to the pillar, and suddenly came up with a way to rectify them, although it was a little cruel and unkind, but when it came to pirates who robbed their homes, mercy was the real way of inhumanity, there is an old saying that is good, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

We should not be soft on the wicked people who have done all the bad things, and we should torture them by the most cruel means, so that we can better deter these wicked people and play the role of educating all the people.

The Holy Mother of the is what Ang Lee hates the most, they only have probation and forgiveness in their consciousness, the criminal must forgive if he kills someone, even if he brutally tortures the victim to death, he must forgive the criminal's sins, even if he wants to be beheaded, he must let the criminal leave without pain, in order to show the heart of the court and the feelings of the Holy Mother, showing that this is a gentle and civilized court, which can be described as extremely disgusting.

The reason why the crime rate has skyrocketed in some places is because the punishment methods are too weak, the profits of crime are extremely high and the costs are extremely low, and everyone is not afraid of the punishment of the imperial court, so that more and more people will choose to do bad things, and the social atmosphere will not be purified.

And if we want to rectify such a social phenomenon, we must use a heavy fist, and we must make everyone understand that the cost of making mistakes is extremely high, much higher than the profits obtained, and the cost is extremely tragic.

"Come on, put down all these remaining pirates, take good care of them, give them some food and drink, and let them recover some strength as soon as possible."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to give the order.

The subordinates thought that they hadn't heard clearly, and hurriedly asked, "Li Shilang, what did you say?" ”

Li An said unhappily: "You stuffed donkey hair in your ears, and the official said to put them down to take care of them, give them some food and drink, and let them recover their strength." ”

"Li Shilang, these pirates are all going to be executed, why do you have to take care of them so much, why is this?"

The subordinates' eyes were about to fall out in surprise, obviously very incomprehensible to Ang Lee's approach, and thought that Ang Lee's approach was too strange and confusing.

Li An didn't bother to hide what he meant, and said: "In order to deter the younger people, this official is going to build a colosseum, so that these pirates can fight the beasts with their bare hands, if they can defeat the beasts, they will be able to live for a few more days, if they are defeated, they can only be eaten by the beasts." ”

"The Colosseum, my subordinates seem to have heard of this name, it is an ornamental sport in the Western Qin Empire, and it seems that Li Shilang told me."

The subordinate seemed to think of something and spoke.

"You're right, it's an ornamental activity in the Western Qin Empire, the official once seemed to say, and the official is now preparing to build a simple Colosseum in Anzhu City, which not only has the effect of entertainment, but also has the effect of deterring the youngsters, and even brings economic benefits, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone."

Li An said.

The so-called Colosseum, which originated in ancient Roman times, was a place in the ancient Roman Empire where slave owners, nobles and freedmen watched the fight of beasts or slave fights.

The Colosseum of ancient Rome is also the largest Colosseum in the world, it is said that this huge Colosseum can accommodate up to 90,000 people to watch at the same time, covers an area of 20,000 square meters, equivalent to the area of 200 sets of commercial houses, the shape is oval, the long axis is 188 meters, the short axis is about 156 meters, the circumference is 527 meters, and the highest wall height is 57 meters, which can be described as a relatively luxurious building.

It is said that when the Colosseum was built, the Romans held a 100-day celebration and slaughtered 9,000 livestock, which shows the importance that the Romans attached to the Colosseum.

The specifications of the Colosseum originated from the theater of the ancient Greek period, and made fewer changes, because many of the theaters in ancient Greece were built on the mountain, in a semicircle, and the audience seats rose layer by layer on the hillside, while the Colosseum of the Roman Empire was built on flat ground and was oval, so there was a great advantage that it could accommodate twice as many audiences.

The performance area of the Colosseum is in the center, it is also an oval, the long axis is eighty-six meters, the short axis is fifty-four meters, it is not small, it is laid with hard floor tiles, and the outside is surrounded by layers of stands, the stands are about sixty rows, divided into five areas, the bottom front row is the VIP (such as the senators, prefects, priests, etc.) area, the second floor is for the nobles, the third is for the rich, the fourth is for ordinary citizens, and the last area is for the women at the bottom, all of them are standing.

There is also a canopy suspended with suspension cables in the auditorium, which is used to provide shade from the sun, and the canopy is inclined to the middle for ventilation. These canopies are controlled by sailors standing on the topmost colonnade as if they were sails.

The stands of the Colosseum are made of three layers of concrete barrel arches, each with 80 arches, forming three rings of different heights, that is, corridors supported by arches, and the top layer is a 50-meter-high solid wall. The grandstand retreats floor by floor, creating a stepped slope.

The eighty arches on each floor form eighty openings, and the top two floors have eighty window openings, and the audience enters according to the number of their seats, first finding which arch they should enter from, then following the stairs to find their own area, and finally finding their seats.

Although the Colosseum can accommodate up to 90,000 people, it is thoughtfully designed to avoid congestion and chaos, and this kind of entrance design is still used even in today's large stadiums.

The Colosseum's performance area is covered with holes and pipes where props and livestock are stored, as well as gladiators, who are hoisted to the ground at the start of the show. The Colosseum can even use aqueducts to divert water. In this way, the Colosseum introduced water into the performance area, forming a lake and performing scenes of naval battles to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of the founding of Rome.

The construction of the Colosseum in Rome is also full of blood and tears, just like the Great Wall of China, in order to build the Great Wall, the people of China do not know how many people died, and the Roman Empire in order to build the Colosseum, mobilized 40,000 prisoners of war, it took eight years to build, during which many prisoners of war died because of fatigue.

There are many entertainment programs in the Colosseum, there are battles between people, there are also bites between beasts and beasts, and there are battles between beasts and humans.

However, the most exciting thing is the duel between people, also known as gladiatorial fighting, which is also the main program of the Colosseum and is the peak of entertainment of the day. Gladiatorial schools also appeared at that time that specialized in training gladiators. The Colosseum financed the four gladiatorial schools, which could accommodate 2,000 gladiators, but in reality these gladiatorial schools were nothing more than a combination of training camps and prisons, since the vast majority of gladiators were slaves and captives from all parts of the Roman Empire, who did not have any freedom or power, and lived at the lowest level of society.

For the Roman aristocracy, the most brutal fighting was undoubtedly the most exciting. The brawler carries a halberd or short sword. Most of the fighters were slaves and prisoners. There are also those who come to fight voluntarily to earn money, and they are all specially trained. There are many types of fighting: the most famous is the duel, in which one side is a gladiator with a trident and a net, and the opponent is a Roman warrior with a sword and shield, the gladiator with a net has to wrap the net around his opponent and kill him with the trident, and the other gladiator wears a helmet and holds a short sword and shield, desperately chasing after his opponent who wants to defeat him. In the end, the losing side pleaded with the mercy of the people in the stands, and these spectators decided his fate, and if they waved a handkerchief, he would be spared death; If these people have their palms down, it means that they want to die.

The design of the Colosseum is very advanced and completely in line with the modern aesthetic point of view, even in later generations, all the large stadiums, more or less will have the shadow of the Colosseum, especially the football field, the spectators are always around a circle, there are spectators in the direction of 360 degrees.

In short, the Colosseum is a legend, people with a little knowledge know what the Colosseum is, and some people even rank the Colosseum among the top ten wonders of the world, which shows the importance attached to the Colosseum.

"Since Li Shilang has decided, then his subordinates will arrange it."

The subordinates felt that there was some truth, but they couldn't understand it for a while, so their attitude was a little not positive, after all, the Tang Empire had never used such a method to torture people who committed capital crimes.

Ang Lee doesn't care about what happened before, and he is not afraid that someone will impeach him, how much of a crime can be in torturing the most heinous pirates, and how can it be compared with his own merits.

Soon, more than 200 Tang Dynasty soldiers dismissed the remaining dozens of pirates and sent them to temporary prisons, most of the pirates because they had not eaten or drunk for a long time, and were tortured by passers-by, after being untied, the whole person was paralyzed, lying on the ground and couldn't get up at all, only a few pirates were able to stand up straight.

And all the paralyzed pirates who couldn't stand were carried away by two Datang soldiers, in fact, they were not carrying, but dragging, the Datang soldiers were one left and one right, one pinned one of the pirates' arm, walking quickly, not caring about the pirate's legs dragging on the ground.

The pirates, who had been given fresh water and food, rushed to eat and drink, thinking that they had survived, but did not know that what awaited them would be an even more tragic fate.

As soon as they regain their strength a little, they will enter the stage of the Colosseum and become playthings to be seen.

It took time to build the road, prepare all kinds of supplies, and move people, and by the early morning of the next day, everything was fully ready.

In order to make the roads and lime and cement in the north enter mass production as soon as possible, Li An mobilized a total of 3,000 human resources, and 1,000 people were responsible for widening the roads in the north for 20 miles, that is, laying the foundation, and widening the foundation of the road to the level of two-way four-lanes, but when the cement road was finally laid, only half of it was laid for the time being, and only the cement workshop was mass-produced, and the remaining half would be laid, after all, the existing building materials were too lacking, and only half of the cement road could be laid first.

The distance from the lime mine to the main road is a mile away, although this section of the road is very short, but the road is rugged and uneven, to open up a four-lane road, it is very labor-intensive, so 1,500 people and a lot of construction machinery have been invested here to make the main road lead to the lime mine as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the export of lime and cement in the future.

In addition, in order not to work in the nest, but also in order to produce cement as soon as possible, the remaining 500 people are busy building cement workshops and lime workshops, and the distance between these two workshops is very close, which can be regarded as a workshop, and the mined lime can be transported into the cement workshop nearby for production, or it can be directly transported away as basic building materials.

The workshop needs a large number of production facilities, as well as necessary living facilities, which are indispensable, and whether it is production facilities, or living facilities, are inseparable from the water source, fortunately there is a river not far away, only need to dig a diversion ditch, you can introduce the river water into the workshop, so that the craftsman takes water very conveniently, greatly facilitating production and life.

Li An personally went to inspect early in the morning, and as soon as he left the direction of the north gate, he saw a dense crowd of people working in front of him.

A group of 20 people formed a total of 50 groups of people, and there were 50 groups of craftsmen on the road of more than 20 miles, so each group of craftsmen would be responsible for the foundation construction of about half a mile road, that is, less than 300 meters in length.

The construction of a foundation of such a length is not too much pressure for twenty craftsmen, however, when the foreman assigns the task of the group, it is not assigned according to the same distance, after all, some sections of the road are relatively flat, and it is very easy to widen and build the foundation, and some sections of the road, on both sides are either high mounds or large pits, which require a large amount of work, so the length of responsibility assigned to the team with bad terrain will be shorter, and the team assigned to the flat land, It is very likely that he will be responsible for the task of widening the foundation for more than a mile.

This is only the initial distribution, after a little tidying up the foundation, you also need the help of the machine, after using the machine, the efficiency of the craftsman's work will be greatly improved, and the foundation will be more solid and durable.

Because the road is under construction, the scene is relatively chaotic, so Li An can not continue to choose to take the ironclad car to inspect the lime mine, he can only ride on horseback, and the guards he brings are only more than 20 cavalry, these guards are enough, there is no need to add more guards, and there are five or six subordinates, who also follow on horseback.

When Ang Lee rode by, the craftsman who was working would stop and wait, so as not to collide with Ang Lee and cause himself big trouble.

And Li Ang is more approachable, and he will not show face to these craftsmen who work, but keeps recruiting craftsmen along the way, comforting and encouraging them, so that they can work hard and strive to complete the road faster and earlier.

The roads in the north were originally dirt roads, and when vehicles and pedestrians passed by, they would raise smoke and dust, but at this moment, because of the construction, the smoke and dust are many times larger than usual.
